Projects
Project based learning goes beyond hands on activities. Project Based Learning is an instructional approach
built upon learning activities that engage student interest and motivation. These activities are designed to
answer a question or solve a problem. It is intended to reflect the types of work people do in the everyday
world outside the classroom.
Project Based Learning is synonymous with learning in depth. A well-designed project provokes students
to encounter (and struggle with) the central concepts and principles of a discipline.
Unfortunately, I have neither the time or knowledge to construct a strong project based learning activity.
But, we shouldn't let that stop us from getting at least half way there. And that is what I attempt to do
here.
What we don't develop, we may buy. So keep an eye out on the blog for project based learning curriculum
that we have some experience with such as the
Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Academy Robotics Engineering Vol. 1: Introduction to Mobile Robotics
Home School Edition curriculum.
Geometry Village
Geometry (and Measurement) Village provides hands on learning of elementary level concepts such as angles, polygons, circles,
area, perimeter and more. There are ten different buildings to construct with a total of 53 different problems. One of the
best aspects of this project is that many of the design choices is up to the student. He is given a some parameters he must
follow, but the rest is up to him. Therefore, no two students project will look the same.
